I think I got this when I was traveling in 2002 around Mexico in the region of Chiapas which is supposed to be a high risk region for Malaria (cf: here). And I remember that my first crisis was in La Havana in Cuba staying in the bed sick with diarrhea and fever for a week.

I don’t think there is any medicines against that, it’s basically for me every time the same and it’s not that bad as described by Wikipedia article.

Like this Thursday, I was at work pretty normal and by 14h I had a pretty big head each and could not look at my computer screen anymore. I left work and tried to come back by buses but during my bus ride I was feeling worse and worse and had to go at the first stop to take a taxi (it’s a long way from Leichardht to Bondi Beach). I just crash on the bed get crazy fever cold and warm all the day and night long. Until the day after I feel fine and ok.

Anyway stuff are getting ok now and I can move and type on a computer. And since a lot of people are dying from Malaria I am not so much unlucky to have only a couple of days fever each year.
